Video distribution system for live distributing video containing animation of character object generated based on motion of distributor user, distribution method, and storage medium storing video distribution program

1. A video distribution system for live distributing a video containing animation of a character object generated based on a motion of a distributor user, the video distribution system comprising:

one or more computer processors,

wherein the one or more computer processors execute computer-readable instructions to:

display one or more display instruction objects on a distributor user device that is used by the distributor user in response to reception of a first display request from a viewing user, the first display request being for a first gift, wherein the one or more display instruction objects are not displayed on a viewing user device that is used by the viewing user while the one or more display instruction objects are displayed on the distributor user device; and

display the first gift in the video in response to a selection of at least one of the one or more display instruction objects.

2. The video distribution system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more computer processors are further configured to:

display an image including the character object, wherein:

the one or more display instruction objects are displayed in a display region; and

if a number of display instruction objects being displayed in the display region is a maximum number of display instruction objects when the first display request is received, a display instruction object corresponding the first display request is displayed in the display region after at least one of the one or more display instruction objects being displayed in the display region is selected.

3. The video distribution system of claim 1 , wherein:

the character object includes a plurality of worn-on portions,

the first gift is an wear gift associated with at least one of the worn-on portions of the character object, and

the wear gift is displayed in the video at a position corresponding to the at least one of the worn-on portions of the character object in response to the selection of the at least one of the one or more display instruction objects.

4. The video distribution system of claim 3 , wherein:

the wear gift includes a first wear gift associated with a first worn-on portion of the plurality of worn-on portions of the character object,

a first display time in which the first wear gift is displayed in the video is set for the first wear gift, and

when the first wear gift is displayed in the video, the one or more computer processors are further configured to:

prohibit display of a second wear gift that is associated with the first worn-on portion until the first display time elapses.

5. The video distribution system of claim 4 , wherein when the first wear gift is displayed in the video, the one or more computer processors are configured to:

deactivate a display instruction object of the one or more display instruction objects for displaying the second wear gift associated with the first worn-on portion until the first display time elapses.

6. The video distribution system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more computer processors further execute computer-readable instructions to:

display a message on the distributor user device in response to reception of a message gift associated with the message from the viewing user; and

display the message gift in the video in response to a display instruction operation on the distributor user device.

7. The video distribution system of claim 1 , wherein:

a voice of the distributor user is included in the video,

a voice change instruction object is displayed on the distributor user device in response to reception of a voice change gift that is for changing the voice of the distributor user from the viewing user, and

the voice of the distributor user is changed to a voice designated by the voice change gift in response to an operation on the voice change instruction object.

8. The video distribution system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more computer processors further execute computer-readable instructions to:

display a second gift in the video in response to reception of a second display request for the second gift from the viewing user, wherein the second gift is displayed in the video without being associated with a specific portion of the character object.

9. The video distribution system of claim 8 , wherein:

a gift display prohibition period is set in a distribution period of the video, and

the second gift is displayed in the video at a timing other than the gift display prohibition period in the distribution period of the video.

10. A video distribution method performed by one or more computer processors executing computer-readable instructions to live distribute a video containing animation of a character object generated based on a motion of a distributor user, the video distribution method comprising:

causing one or more display instruction objects to be displayed on a distributor user device that is used by the distributor user in response to reception of a first display request from a viewing user, the first display request being for a first gift, wherein the one or more display instruction objects are not displayed on a viewing user device that is used by the viewing user while the one or more display instruction objects are displayed on the distributor user device; and

causing the first gift to be displayed in the video in response to a selection of at least one of the one or more display instruction objects.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a video distribution program for live distributing a video containing animation of a character object generated based on a motion of a distributor user, wherein the video distribution program being executed by one or more computer processors effectuate operations comprising:

displaying one or more display instruction objects on a distributor user device that is used by the distributor user in response to reception of a first display request from a viewing user, the first display request being for a first gift, wherein the one or more display instruction objects are not displayed on a viewing user device that is used by the viewing user while the one or more display instruction objects are displayed on the distributor user device; and

displaying the first gift in the video in response to a selection of at least one of the one or more display instruction objects.
